Welcome to this blog - a new venture to capture the divine 'yes' moments that bubble up daily. I find that having an ear to hearing God's YES keeps my heart singing, despite what life throws at me.
I recently went to the funeral of a former colleague, a sweet and gentle woman who died too early. She had a condition that came and went - and this time the complications were too much. Her husband, not known for inspired speech, touched us all by eloquently telling us about the visit he made with her to the hospital chapel. My friend was one who always struggled with the amount of suffering in the world. It caused her to doubt the love of God. At the end of the communion service she sat with a wonderful smile on her face, and she said to him, "I will never again doubt the love of God. It has washed over me with such reality just now - that I can never doubt it again." Within 18 hours she was dead.
What a merciful, loving God - to give him this wonderful assurance that his beloved wife is now totally emmersed in the perfect love of God forever.
Have you known the love of Jesus that fills and convinces your heart? Ask him to 'pour out his love upon you through the Spirit he has given.' Romans 5:5
